Yin yoga is a slow paced practice, with postures that are held for 3 -5 minutes in mostly seated or laying down positions, allowing the body to slowly release tension and penetrate the deeper connective tissues (tendons, fascia, and ligaments) as well as the energetic systems of the body, bringing the body into balance and increasing it’s natural range of motion.
Yin yoga improves flexibility, circulation in the joints, the flow of qi; the subtle energy that runs through the meridian pathways of the body, which in turn helps improve organ health, immunity and emotional well-being. With this practice you will feel refreshed, renewed and restored.
Each practice will be followed by a savasana (laying down with eyes relaxed and closed) while enjoying the healing vibrations of the crystal singing bowls.

Yin or Yang or a Combination
Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice used to bring one to an elevated awareness or consciousness.
Whether you are new to the practice or have been practicing for some time, I will work with you to find a practice that is suitable for you and where you are at, encouraging you to a place of vitality and mobility. I bring a compassionate and gentle presence to each class and enjoy sharing the beauty and wisdom of yoga.
I offer classes in Yin yoga and Ashtanga based vinyasa flows. Focus on breath, being present in the moment, and alignment that is suitable for your individual practice.
Yin Yoga
Yin yoga is a slow paced practice, with postures that are held for 3 -5 minutes in mostly seated or laying down positions, allowing the body to slowly release tension and penetrate the deeper connective tissues (tendons, fascia, and ligaments) as well as the energetic systems of the body, bringing the body into balance and increasing it’s natural range of motion. Yin yoga improves flexibility, circulation in the joints, the flow of qi; the subtle energy that runs through the meridian pathways of the body, which in turn helps improve organ health, immunity and emotional well-being. With this practice you will feel refreshed, renewed and restored. The yin yoga session can be interspersed with series of more active yang poses for a Yin/Yang session.
Ashtanga Based Vinyasa Flows (Yang Yoga)
Yang yoga is more actively paced and in this class we will be practicing an ashtanga based vinyasa flow, using a series of postures to align movement with breath. The yang style removes stagnant qi, strengthens and increases stamina.
Intro to Ashtanga or Half Primary
Ashtanga practice begins with Surya Namaskar A and B, followed by a standing sequence, then seated sequence followed by the closing postures, aligning movement with breath, removes stagnant energy, strengthens and increases stamina.
Teaching Schedule
I find yoga not only nurturing for the body but also the mind and the spirit and feel truly grateful for the opportunity to share this practice with you, meeting where you are in life, helping you find balance and well being in life. Let’s go on a journey, send me an email at sonja@sonjadenelzen.com to discuss your needs for an individualized program.
